PP&R also sell a set of rail connectors just for the Valiant Charger, this is the same kind I have on my VG hardtop.

I chose to get a complete kit for US Car Tool.

But to save money you can do the build you own thing, lots of instructions all over the place.

I think all Valiant Chargers came with torque boxes so the main things would be chassis connectors and some kind of inner fender brace along with adding strength to the lower radiator support area.

How solid are you chassis rails do you have the typical rust issues?

If you do have rusted/ cracked rails don't go and add sleeves, as they wont pass roadworthy.
better to spend the extra cash and have new rails put in, then instal the rack and pinion kit that you like most.
